Review from Crystal H.
Vancouver, BC
10/17/2010 1 Check-in Here
An eclectic lil mix of stuffed animals, Hunter boots, rad greeting cards, clothing, candles, accessories and more, with a country-kitchen-home-goodness feel to it. A space I'd visit for a sure-gift-hit, for woman or child! The name in itself inspires me to do something creative. But mostly I love the fact that I finally found a pair of stud earrings that aren't "blingy."

Review from Gillian F.
North Vancouver, BC
11/9/2009
Ok, I didn't want to start off negative so I will first say some things I DO like about this store.
1. I like the way the store is designed, its quite funky inside and has a nice atmosphere.
2. The staff are polite and helpful.
What I don't like:
The way this shop (and a few of the other, non local design shops) are priced. Its absolutely ridiculous! and I have proof.
I went shopping on Main St (in Vancouver) and went into a few shops that carry some of the same brands that this store does, i.e. I tried on a really nice shirt dress in the store on main st which cost $68, soon after I took a trip to Victoria and went into this store and saw the EXACT same shirt dress and it cost roughly $120.
It wasn't just the shirt dress, I noticed other items I have tried on in stores around Vancouver that were much cheaper in Vancouver then they were at this store.
My point: Victoria is being taken advantage of because there isn't enough places like this to shop at there. They think just because their store is on Johnson st they can up price you much more then other stores. Note to the wise: Vancouver is only an hour and a half ferry ride away. Hell id rather pay my 13 dollar walk on charge and take public transit and buy these clothes cheaper in Vancouver.
Shame on you!
